UA EduHub Greece ran the WISE project (Wired Inclusion for Seniors Empowerment) — «Digital support for older people», aimed at developing digital and media literacy among older people who had to leave Ukraine and found refuge in Greece.
The goal was to help participants use modern digital technologies with confidence, find their way safely in the information space and get access to the online services they need in everyday life.
The project included a series of classes and practical workshops on using smartphones, digital services, online communication, information security, recognising disinformation and protecting yourself from online fraud. The training used 15 real cases of disinformation, which helped participants develop critical thinking and safe information habits.
A special result of the project is an online course in SCORM format adapted to the needs of older people. The learning materials were developed in Ukrainian and remain openly available, so participants can keep learning after the programme.
The programme was created for older people from Ukraine who live in Greece and want to find their way in the digital world more easily. Special attention was paid to people who had little experience with modern digital technologies and online services.
The project produced a SCORM course of three learning modules:
• Safe internet: fakes, disinformation and online fraud;
• Digital public services for Ukrainians abroad;
• Using Google services in everyday life.
In total, more than 50 older people took part in the project activities. Participants gained new digital skills, improved their media literacy and became more confident using modern technologies in everyday life.
The project «Wired Inclusion for Seniors Empowerment – WISE: Digital and media literacy for older refugees from Ukraine in Greece» was implemented with the support of the Civic Innovation Fund (CIF) — a European co-funding fund created by THE CIVICS Innovation Hub with the support of the King Baudouin Foundation.
